Airliner World Magazine May 2023 Vorige editie

Welcome to a packed May 2023 edition of Airliner World. It isn’t every day that a new British airline launches operations, and it’s rarer to get a glimpse into its formation; this month, we take an exclusive look inside the new British Airways offshoot BA Euroflyer. We also head out to Milan/Malpensa to find out how leading low-cost carrier easyJet achieves its rapid turnarounds, and we take a closer look at how London/Gatwick is rebounding from the recent pandemic.

Elsewhere, we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Vickers Viscount entering regular revenue service by profiling the first-generation turboprop’s illustrious career with British European Airways. we shine the spotlight on the Islanders serving the islanders and chat with Troyd Bowles, chief pilot at the Falkland Islands Government Air Service (FIGAS), about the challenges of operating one of the world’s most unusual airlines. We also speak to key players from Malta’s blossoming civil aviation scene to discover the secrets behind its success, we run the rule over Bombardier Aviation’s recently expanded business jet service centre network, and we ask why, with prototypes flying and firm orders in place, did Mitsubishi axe its SpaceJet regional aircraft programme. As Emirates bolsters its capacity in Scotland by reintroducing its Airbus A380 on services to Glasgow, we get the lowdown from divisional vice president UK, Richard Jewsbury, and we find out why Saudia is delving into the high-profile world of sports sponsorship.
